NCH 2016 Applicants

Hi everyone!
I know it's kind of last minute but I'm kind of starting to worry about my interview. I applied for Politics and International Relations with a minor in Philosophy, and my interview is this Wednesday. It would be really nice if someone could give me tips in relation to politics & IR!

Best of luck!

Just got an unconditional offer by post! I am super excited! Still some stuff to sort out regarding visa status and scholarship, but I hope to be firming it soon!!!

Hi there! Though I don't know much about politics and IR, I would advise you not to stress about the interview. I had my philosophy interview last week and it was really really fine! It's a conversation, so you can talk about what you don't understand, ask questions, and talk about your thoughts on the extract, you don't have to know everything! Just relax and enjoy!

Excellent news! Congratulations!

Are you International? When I had my interview I met a couple of Italians and a German guy who were interviewing too. So pleased for you.

Congratulations on your offers guys! I was just a bit curious, who exactly did you guys have your interviews with??

Thank you!! I'm not actually, it's very complicated Haha. I grew up in London, but I don't have 'home' status yet, I'm getting it in March this year, so I'll qualify as a home student. So I need to clarify that with them. Hopefully then they will increase my scholarship, which is £2,000 at the moment, and I can't really afford to pay the rest of it at the moment... If I can sort this out I will definitely be firming it!!

What about you? Have you thought more about NCH and your other choices?

It's such an exciting time for us all!

I hope all goes smoothly and you get home status in March.

I'm going to Bristol and KCL offer holder events in the next week or so, and will make my decision after that. I'm definitely leaning towards firming NCH though...I love it.

I am also seriously considering NCH for LLB Law programme. I really liked their way of teaching and broading options for students Honestly speaking, I just found out about NCH through a random google search last week, until then I never knew they existed. But I am 35+ yrs old mature student studying Access to HE with full time work so not sure if they would suit mature student in a setting that is dominated by young teenage students, mostly of conventional and privilege backgrounds. The hefty fee of £18k is also a concern for me as I doubt if I can afford it....unless I sell up my existing property I currently live in as heard NCH only provides scholarship to younger students without assets. But not sure if I can finance it on 0% my credit cards which I have a higher limit due to my current job as I'm in a middle of my career. I intend to give up my employment once I start LLB degree.

Hey guys!

Have you received the invitation to the offer holders event in April? It sounds super exciting! Will I be seeing you guys there?

Hey!! I received my offer yesterday for Politics with Philosophy! SO EXCITED
I'll definitely be coming :-)

By the way, is anyone else having trouble figuring out how they're going to pay the fees? I don't really know what to do since I only have a £2k scholarship...

Hey!! That's so cool, congratulations!! See you in April! 😁

Yes, I also have a £2k scholarship. I just applied for a bursary during the week. I'm banking on getting at least £8k to be able to afford it at the moment. Hopefully they'll send me news soon!

Thank you! Well done too!

Sorry if I am asking way too many questions but how did you go about applying for your bursary? I just kind of want it done and out of the way, if you know what I mean. Also I didn't apply through UCAS so do you know how I would go about firming it?

Thank you! 😁

I didn't apply through UCAS either! For the bursary application, NCH emailed me about student finance and in it was a link for an online bursary form. I received it about a week or so after my offer. Each parent/guardian has to fill a form, and they ask about their assets and income and photocopies of payslips and things like that. Took about 20 minutes to fill out!

I just received the email ! Did you find out how much you are eligible for yet?

Mature student doing Access to HE for mid life career change to a career in law. Been rejected for M100 LLB Law by the likes of UCL, KCL and LSE.

A tutor advised me to consider NCH but heard they are at another level next to the likes of Oxbridge and not so sure if I would be able to do both meet their high entry criteria and the high fees as I don't qualify for student finance due to personal circumstances, which was one of the reason I initially applied to the top law schools due to their generous bursury and scholarships being offered. Have unconditional offer from ULaw but they don't have any remaining scholarships/bursary available I guess as I've heard its all been given out hence cannot afford any fees.

Also not sure how leading law firms values or have relationship with NCH as I questioned some at an open career day and some didn't have a clue about NCH......unless if I have misunderstood something.
